Salmos 80

1 Para el maestro de coro. Por el tono de (como) azucenas (las palabras) de la Ley, Salmo de Asaf. Pastor de Israel, escucha: Tú, que como un rebaño guías a José; Tú, que te sientas sobre querubines,

[Yahweh], you [who lead us like] a shepherd leads his flock [of sheep], listen to us Israeli people. You sit on your throne [in the Very Holy Place in the temple], above the [carvings of] winged creatures.

2 muéstrate a los ojos de Efraím, de Benjamín y de Manasés. Despierta tu potencia, y ven a salvarnos.

Show yourself to [the people of the tribes of] Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh! Show us that you are powerful and come and rescue us!

3 ¡Oh Dios de los ejércitos, restáuranos! Haz resplandecer tu Rostro, y seremos salvos.

God, cause our nation to be strong like it was before; be kind to us [IDM] in order that we may be saved [from our enemies.]

4 ¡Oh Yahvé, Dios de los ejércitos!, ¿hasta cuándo seguirás airado contra la oración de tu pueblo?

Yahweh, you who are the commander of the armies of heaven, how long will you be angry with us, your people, when we pray to you?

5 Lo has alimentado con pan de llanto; le has dado a beber lágrimas en abundancia.

[It is as though] the only food and drink that you have given us is a cup full of our tears!

6 Nos has hecho objeto de contienda entre nuestros vecinos; y nuestros enemigos se burlan de nosotros.

You have allowed the people-groups that surround us to fight with [each other to decide which part of our land each of them will take]; our enemies laugh at us.

7 ¡Oh Dios de los ejércitos, restáuranos! Haz resplandecer tu Rostro, y seremos salvos.

God, commander of the armies of heaven, cause our nation to be strong like it was before! Be kind to us in order that we may be saved!

8 De Egipto trasladaste tu viña, arrojaste a los gentiles, y la plantaste;

[Our ancestors were like] a grapevine [MET] that you brought out of Egypt; you expelled the other people-groups [from this land], and you put your people in their land.

9 preparaste el suelo para ella, y echó raíces y llenó la tierra.

[Like people] clear ground to plant a grapevine [MET], [you cleared out the people who were living in this land for us to live in it]. [Like] the roots of a grapevine go deep down into the ground and spread [MET], [you enabled our ancestors to prosper and start living in towns all over this land].

10 Los montes se cubrieron con su sombra, y con sus ramas los cedros altísimos.

[Like huge] grapevines cover the hills with their shade and their branches are taller than big cedar [trees] [MET, HYP],

11 Hasta el mar extendió sus sarmientos y hasta el gran río sus vástagos.

[your people ruled all of Canaan], from the [Mediterranean] Sea [in the west] to the [Euphrates] River [in the east].

12 ¿Cómo es que derribaste sus vallados para que la vendimien cuantos pasan por el camino;

So why have you abandoned us and [allowed our enemies to] tear down our walls [RHQ]? [You are like] someone who tears down the fences [around his vineyard], with the result that all [the people] who pass by [can] steal the grapes,

13 la devaste el jabalí salvaje y las bestias del campo la devoren?

and wild pigs [can] trample [the vines], and wild animals [can also] eat [the grapes].

14 Retorna, oh Dios de los ejércitos, inclínate desde el cielo, y mira, y visita esta viña,

You who are the commander of the armies of heaven, (turn to/stop abandoning) us! Look down from heaven and see [what is happening to] us! Come and rescue [us who are like] [MET] your grapevine,

15 la cepa que tu diestra plantó, y el retoño que para ti conformaste.

who are [like] the young vine that you [SYN] planted and caused to grow!

16 Perezcan ante la amenaza de tu Rostro quienes la quemaron y la cortaron.

Our enemies have torn down and burned everything in our land; look at them angrily and get rid of them!

17 Pósese tu mano sobre el Varón que está a tu diestra; sobre el Hijo del hombre que para Ti fortaleciste.

But strengthen [us] people whom you have chosen [IDM], [us] Israeli people whom you [previously] caused to be very strong.

18 Entonces no volveremos a apartarnos de Ti; Tú nos vivificarás, y nosotros proclamaremos tu Nombre.

When you do that, we will never turn away from you again; (revive us/cause us to be again like we were previously), and [then] we will praise/worship you.

19 ¡Oh Dios de los ejércitos, restáuranos! Haz resplandecer tu Rostro, y seremos salvos.

Yahweh, commander of the armies of heaven, restore us; be kind to us in order that we may be rescued [from our enemies]!
